Abstract

Low-temperature photoluminescence and plane-view TEN observations have been carried out to investigate the strain and microstructural defects in MOCVD-grown ZnSe/(100)GaAs after post- growth annealing in H2gas at temperature between 350 and 500V. A 0.35 µm thick ZnSe epitaxial layer is originally under compres- sive strain, but after annealing this receives considerably tensile strain, and the neutral deep-acceptor bound exciton () line and the edge-emission band at about 2.72 eV newly appear. The observed changes are interpreted in terms of the energy down- shift of the excitonic lines and deviation from stoichiometry. The annealed film, which deteriorated as a result of generations of dislocation tangles and small loops, results in the strong deep-level emissions around 2.25 eV.
